The excitement at De La Salle High School on Saturday (Aug. 23) was not all back-to-school-related. That day, the alumni gathered at the campus for the fifth annual Alumni Summer Dance to kick off for the school's 65th anniversary, as well as celebrate Cavaliers baseball team and band alumni. A special presentation was made to family members of the late Frank Wills, class of 1977, a baseball alum. The family was presented with a commemorative poster depicting Wills' baseball career while at De La Salle.

For the musically inclined, school band director Duncan Pray led the band in the school's fight song, followed by Dr. Wynn Russo and his Matrix Band (Bill Folse and Keith Rhode), featuring Jason Weiss (all De La Salle alumni). DJ Sal Chippata also contributed to the night's rhythms.

Proceeds from this event will be directed towards Alumni Association scholarships for current and future Cavaliers. Notable guests at the soirée included De La Salle president Michael Guillot and his wife, Lisa Guillot; DLS Board of Regents chairman Jimmy Baldwin, accompanied by his wife, Karen Baldwin; Jill and Paul Kelly; Linda and Myles Seghers; Johnny Altobello; Marie and Judge Jim McKay; John Young; John Humphreys; Lisa and Mark Castillon; Norlisha and Tim Burke; Gary Lorio; Sarah and Neil Anderson; David Anderson; Jane and Herb Anderson; Ferd Lorio; and Marie and Judge Jim McKay.
